Master craftsman Dale Nish taught me how to make an amazing wood-hinge for boxes.  A wooden dowel is cut into segments, a shallow hole is drilled in the center of each dowel and a small pin is inserted into the hole for the dowel segments to pivot on.

I've made thousands of boxes using this style of hinge and I have designed four drill jigs to precisely drill the hole in the center of dowel segments (the most difficult task).  These jigs are available as a complete kit or as individual drill jigs.  

Wood-Hinge Drill Kit (Imperial) Without Rods: 

  • My imperial sized kit allows you to drill 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch size holes in 1/4 inch,  1/2 inch, 3/8 inch, and 3/4 inch diameter dowels.
  • Kit includes 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch drill bit holders; 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, and 3/4 inch drill jigs; 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch drill bits; and a 1/16 inch Allen wrench.

  • 1/16 inch drill bit is used with 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch diameter dowels.

  • 1/8 inch drill bit is used for the 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch diameter dowels.

  • Opposing set screws hold the drill bit securely and allow for adjustment of the hole depth.

  • Rod kits are available for separate purchase. 

  • You may also like to purchase a copy of my video "Wood-Hinge Box" which shows you step-by-step how to build a wood-hinge box and use my drill jigs to create a wood-hinge.

wood hinge drill kit

for the price of over $150.00 I was to say a little disappointed. First of all, there were no instructions for simplification of use. I did watch the video that you have but I had to try different things to make it work. the pieces should at least be marked for size in case someone would want Imperial and Metric. The Allen wench is useless and stripped out on the first use. The half inch was what I was using and it should really be a little over half inch instead of under. I will try the other pieces to see if they work better for me. I think Rob is a great guy to watch on U-tube and I am not trying to be a nag but the product has some flaws.

Buy the kit with all bits, cheaper than buying one and seeing how good and easy it is. First try easy and perfect.

A Great Kit

This is my third or fourth Cosman product - as with all of them, high manufacturing quality, simple design and easy to use to accomplish the intended task. Do yourself a favour and watch the YouTube videos on Wood Hinge boxes and methods. Make your own dowels, they’ll work much better with this tool than mass manufactured dowel material. The toughest decision now is which tool do I try next ?
